Coming from such an organisation with such amazing credentials in the field of community and societal well-being, this is a huge endorsement of our project and its community aims. Here’s what they said,

“JRF are delighted to make a pledge to this exciting project – York Arts Barge. We feel the barge itself will provide a platform from which this organisation can deliver their work to a range of communities, including those that are considered to be more disadvantaged. There is huge potential for this venue to bring individuals and communities together”.

Thank you to JRF and to all our other supporters. This barge is happening! If you haven’t pledged yet or if you want to tell someone you know how to support us just follow this link:
